These Walls

Everything that you ever told me was a lie I see inside your head You see through my eyes I don't really wanna be here You don't really wanna leave scared These walls that I put up Everybody's done so I better just shut up And try to be someone And I gotta keep my head up Aimed at the sky You can give a man some bread Or put some change in his mind That can really make a difference you can see with your eyes Teach a person to believe that what you speak isn't lies Cause we all deserve a path that will lead us to light No matter what is in the past See the future is bright, yeah But the money's in the pockets of the stubborn And the rich who fill their cupboards While the rest of us are hungry There's something else rumbling While the thunderstorms thumping A snap, crackle, pop Or like a Rice Krispy crunching My attention to deficits Shows my lack of the medicine After all the Adderall can turn the walls into gelatin I'm white but I got a couple friends with some melanin I'm an intelligent guy Make sure I expect the worst So that I'm never surprised But I know it never works Because I keep my hopes high When there's a red alert I always keep the rope tied I've seen the devils face in medical cases Anybody who has tasted minimum wages Anybody who has chased adrenaline Danger around the corner It escaped and went in the basement And that's a trail you can't follow It goes cold like your soul went hollow Tomorrow, I'm swimming in the depths No shallow I'm tripping on the steps Taking me up to the gallows Can't blame the executioner Too many games playing Hangman with Lucifer If it's the same thing to you, which do you prefer A book that makes you strong Or a gun that makes you stupider I never what way to go or what not to choose I never knew the right choice Or the wrong rules Only time to use my voice Is if I had to prove Cause when it comes to the streets Got an avenue When it came to the beats Got an attitude I bleed black and gold Gonna snatch your soul Gonna make you have to leave on sabbatical This the Black Sabbath This is black magic And his past tragic Always laughed at him Where'd he come from They will pay him Just to leave them when it's undone With a lump sum Take this demon and return to the dungeon All his life he was treated this way Deep down, he conceded his fate Inside, he could feel he was great But when he went out all they seen was his face All he had was a single bookbag What you looking at Said all of the upperclassmen I could not expect a life like this These walls built sky high with the bricks
